Because they have a high output V10.

The closest thing to the V10 is the Z06 and it gets waxed by .3 to .4 on the dragstrip. That's an ass-kicking in anybody's book - except the loser's.

Look at the V10 (466 ? ), 440,380,360, etc.. None of them ever made much more than their competition at the time even with the CID advantage.
I don't know if you were around back then but they ALL had big cubes and they ALL won races.
So much info flying around about V10 history I'm not sure what is accurate and what isn't. But there are V10s put in trucks. I believe Ford has one also. To my knowledge they are all iron blocks.
FordMan, you of all people should be grateful to Dodge. If it wasn't for Dodge's "different" attitude and the Viper, Ford would have never decided to build next year's 500hp GT (as in GT40 not GT Mustang). Too bad they've back off on their "Viper Killer" objective and settled for taking the Modena. Shoulda packed more cubes.
Now if GM would fire all the accountants...
